What is wrong about it? The part about AMD being incompetent, or the part about protecting consumers as opposed to competition? Or something else? You and Elmer are going in circles without clearly stating your objections. A) "Protecting consumers as opposed to competition" - These are not mutually exclusive, I've repeatedly stated (and for a briefest of moments even Elmer himself did too) that protecting competition (the process) benefits consumers. B) His insistence that the only goal of antitrust law is to protect consumers. C) His assertion that the only alternative to solely protecting consumers, i.e. enforcing antitrust laws without requiring explicit (as opposed to implicit) consumer harm, is that "incompetence is rewarded" as if a competitor who has been victimized by an abusive monopoly does not deserve justice. fpg
